Product Description

The same innovative engineering and classic design as the Original Locking Rotomatics, but with smaller buttons for 6-in-line guitars, or for those who prefer a little more space for their fingers. Gear ratio is 18:1. Grover Rotomatic 406C locking guitar tuning machine heads give you easy tuning and positive string locking. With a gear ratio of 18:1, these locking tuners serve up all the goodness of standard Rotomatics - plus Grover's internal cam post. Stick the string through the string hole, hand pull to tension, and begin tuning. As you start to tune, only the locking cam inside the string post turns. The string post itself starts turning once the string is locked. In under one revolution of the string post, you'll be in tune - and you'll stay that way! Upgrade your axe with Grover's Rotomatic 406C locking guitar tuning machines. Includes 6-in-line, Set of 6

I play mainly short scale guitars because they are so much easier for my aging hands. But the same thing that make 'small' guitars easy to play, also make them harder to tune accurately. The shorter strings are looser,and higher gear ratios are needed in the tuners, in order to be precise.Some companies are starting to put higher ratio machine heads on their guitars, but 14:1 isn't enough. Haven't tried 16:1 but I have put new 18:1 pegs on two Les Paul Express short scales and I could hardly believe the vast improvement. Tuning is accurate,fast and stable. Grovers were $30 cheaper than the others I tried and every bit as good. The locking pegs is just icing on the cake, so much faster and easier to change strings now. I will probably put these on all my guitars eventually; but for the shorties, these high ratio pegs will turn your hard-to-tune "beginners" guitar into a fine musical instrument.

What started as a simple string and pedal sales catalog has grown exponentially over the past thirty years. The early days were a time where catalogs didn't have much of a presence in the industry, but what began as a college dorm room operation grew rapidly. In 1986 we moved to a full product offering and 64-page catalog, which over the years has grown to 162 pages. Join the AMS family and get your free catalog now!
